A Hybrid Approach to Reduce Cone-Beam Artifacts for a Circular Orbit Cone-Beam CT System
In a cone-beam computed tomography (CT) system, the Feldkamp, Davis, and Kress (FDK) algorithm produces cone-beam artifacts due to insufficient object sampling in the missing cone region of frequency space.While total variation minimization-based iterative reconstruction (TV-IR) may reduce cone-beam artifacts by filling in the missing cone region,
